Drug info - Identifying Taurine vs Phenibut (help)

[testingpurposes]

Hey Guys,

A while back I ordered some phenibut as well as some Taurine. Unfortunately, when I received the box both were labeled Phenibut (both from the same company).

The taurine was supposed to be 500g, and 100g of phen...So I peeled the little phenibut label off of the 500g container assuming it was a mishap. I didn't think much of it, until I took what I thought was 3g or so of taurine. That night and all the next day I was dizzy as hell, albeit a bit euphoric...So I was curious if there was an easy method for differentiating the two substances.

The 100g container (supposedly phenibut):
Appears to be a white powder, very fine in nature. It clumps together a bit and looks like this image of "crude taurine", however, other images of taurine show it as less of a clumpy powder and more of a salt.

The taste is...disgusting...obviously. A bit salty / sour...maybe a little sulfuric... hard to tell when my tongue is signalling "Do NOT Eat" to my brain.

The 500g container (labeled phen, assumed to be taurine):
Also a white powder, however the crystals are larger, flows more like salt and less like a powder.
Unfortunately the taste is similar...Salty sour...


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems like they're both phenibut to me, from the taste and effects you describe. Phenibut tastes awful and pretty much just like you described, taurine has a very mild sweet taste and is completely tolerable. Try the one you didn't get messed up on before at around 1.5 - 2g, if you feel something then it's phenibut, if you don't it's taurine.

500 mg seems to be adapted to phenibut and 100 mg seems to be adapated to taurine.
Phenibut is more calming while taurine is more focusing (taurine should make your vision more precise).
